Happy Monday!  The first one for October!  Goodness, but around here, this new month (and season) came in with a roar.  More like a dragon’s breath!  It was too hot (in my humble opinion) for October.  And just as the temperatures simmered down, it was nothing but damp, cloudy, drizzly…

Whether I admit it or not, summer is winding down.  In the air and in my spirit.  I can feel the change coming.  I was out of town last week (thanks to everyone who still stopped here for a visit) and returned Saturday evening.  After a bite to eat, Hubby…

Happy Monday!  How was the weekend?  I certainly enjoyed mine.  The last few days included a few of my favorite things….. My Mother’s Day flowers are still going strong.  As pretty as the day that I received them.  I actually was gifted these from my neighbors.  My incredibly sweet (and…

Hello friends!  I’m home….and, yep, there is no place like home!  I saw the graphic (on my sidebar) and thought it summed up my thoughts.  As I settled back into my routine (and my own bed!) this week, I have repeatedly felt an extra sense of gratitude.  For “home” and…

Welcome to a new week…and, if the forecast is in any way correct, it promises to be a pretty one!  I hope you have some plans to be outside, at least for a bit of the week.  In just my last post, I wrote that the weather had changed and…

I hope your Valentine’s Day was….well, sweet!  I think it is a fun holiday (is it actually a holiday? do schools/businesses have to be closed for it to be an actual holiday?  I digress)  I like this holiday.  No pressure.  Just fun.  And really cute earrings (and sweaters too) to…

Well, this post is either going to be light-hearted, perhaps even fun…or it is going to be totally awkward and/or embarrassing.  But, I am willing to take the risk.  I’m not talking about politics, vaccines, religion, or finances (although I am happy to share my opinion about any of it,…

Good Monday morning!  I’m off early this morning…to a birthday breakfast.  We are helping our friend celebrate 92 years! That’s pretty exciting, in my opinion.  There is another breakfast (not for a birthday) later in the week, a Pie Palooza luncheon tomorrow after Bible study, and my monthly breakfast with…

Autumn is in full swing.  Slower sunrises.  Sweater weather.  Warm, fall-scented drinks.  And the battle over the furnace.  My blog friend, Debbie, put this way:  “(my hubby) and I are entering into our yearly squabble over whether to turn the heat on or not. I run around in pants and…

Summer is in full swing.  The heat (obviously), the extra long days and the early mornings, and evening runs for ice cream (yes, we just got back from such a treat).  The Saturday morning farmer’s markets with all the fresh fruits and fresh vegetables.  All the squash, zucchini and blueberry…

Obviously, summer is officially over but, truthfully, fall is well on its way to over as well. Winter temps are expected every night this week.  So, I thought it was a good time to review some of the “small things” of late.  Shall I say, the small things of autumn? …
